Yeah, fancy words to try to sell an inferior product to informed consumers.

this whole thing beyond pisses me off they don't like the fact that we have our own server rules but now we're forced to play it how they want us to play it i don't give a shit how p2p supposedly runs compared to dedicated servers, o cool so p2p can match us up on how good we are....how the f am i suppose to learn and get better when everyone is the same player level in the game??? and P2P will most likely make it impossible to let all TE members who have it to play in the same game at the same time, this is the biggest load of crap and a good way to shoot them selves in the foot, that petition is almost up to 130,000...at $60 a pop thats $7,800,000 they will probably lose out on how fin stupid are they?

if i wanted to play p2p ied buy it for 360 or PS3

half of those people, if not more, will STILL buy this game... just because PC is going to p2p, doesnt mean everyone is going to boycott it... puttin your name on an online petition is one thing, but actually carrying out the threat of not getting it is another... i dont think some people have the balls to do that... besides, coming from a person who has played cod4 and WaW on all 3 platforms...i honestly prefer p2p....no fuckin homo admins that like tyrant the servers, and you can still party up with 6 or so players and still be on the same team...

I'm headed back to ebgames on sat to cancel my preorder.

I suggest to get a head count of current owners of the previous games mw1 and waw, and put a vote on which one should have a DEDICATED server thrown back up.
I personally have fun with waw, but mw was better.

If no one wants to use the resources for a server,  then vote on 3-4 popular good servers to link to so we can play together easier.

I like:   http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/64.34.183.11:28960/
No crazy admins, no restrictions, runs great... feels like an elders server. I'm ranked 119 out of 56,000.

I've been considering putting the W@W server back up because I still play a lot.

[Rally Pig]

fair enough yes that's one thing i like about p2p is not dealing with retarted admins...but then you just have to deal with stupid people that you cant kick lol, i understand why they are doing it, mostly against hacking/cheating but there's gotta be another way

Put the W@W server back up.  We can have some fun playing it again.
I just cancelled my pre-order.  Fuck IW
